    Impact of Simulated Inflammation and Food Breakdown on the Synergistic Interaction Between Corrosion and Wear on Titanium
    (Elsevier, 2024) Lima, A.R.; Pinto, A.M.P.; Toptan, F.; Alves, A.C.
    This paper investigates the impact of lactic acid and phosphoric acid additives in artificial saliva (AS), simulating inflammation and food breakdown, on the electrochemical and tribo-electrochemical behavior of titanium. The results showed that, unlike lactic acid, phosphoric acid significantly reduced corrosion resistance, mainly due to local damage and heterogeneities on the passive film. Non-additivated AS caused greater wear volume loss, with mechanical wear identified as the main mechanism. However, when additives were present, a synergistic interplay between corrosion and wear was observed. The study concludes that prolonged exposure to food breakdown could accelerate material degradation in titanium. © 2024 Elsevier Ltd

    Testing Corrosion Rates on Steel Piping in Geothermal District Heating
    (National Association of Corrosion Engineers, 2008) İnce, Umut; Toksoy, Macit; Güden, Mustafa
    The corrosion behavior of St-37 pipeline carbon steel (CS) in a geothermal district heating system was tested at two different fluid velocities. An experimental set-up, directly connected the the end of the transmission line of a geothermal well, was used to assess the corrosion of St-37 steel tensile test coupons prepared in accordance with ASTM E8 in geothermal fluid. The geothermal fluid entered the set-up with a relatively low velocity, 0.02 m/s, and then injected into the well with a relatively high fluid velocity, 9.6 m/s. It was observed that while the uniform corrosion rates were relatively low, pitting corrosion rate, mainly driven by the sulfate-reducing bacteria (SRB) activity, was relatively high and more pronounced at low fluid velocities. St-37 steel material is prone to the pitting type corrosion, thus a biocide chemical addition and the fluid velocity of 2 to 3 m/s in transmission line were recommended to reduce SRB activity to reduce the pitting corrosion rate.
